Because of its strong support for the Syrian regime who's currently trying to break the back of a year-old revolution, Iran has now become as unpopular as the Israelis and American.
According to Reuters news Agency, there are very credible evidence Iran is indeed helping Assad, the Syrian dictator, put down protest inside the Arab country of 22 million.
Tehran's technical assistance to Assad's security forces includes electronic surveillance systems, technology designed to disrupt efforts by protesters to communicate via social media, and Iranian-made drone aircraft for overhead surveillance, the officials said. They discussed intelligence matters on condition of anonymity. Iran has also provided lethal materiel that can be used for riot control, they said. "Over the past year, Iran has provided security assistance to Damascus to help shore up Assad. Tehran during the last couple of months has been aiding the Syrian regime with lethal assistance - including rifles, ammunition, and other military equipment - to help it put down the opposition," a U.S. official said. "Iran has provided Damascus (with) monitoring tools to help the regime suppress the opposition. It has also shared techniques on Internet surveillance and disruption," the official continued. He added that Iran had also provided Assad's government with "unarmed drones that Damascus is using along with its own technology to monitor opposition forces."The uprising in Syria consist mostly of Sunni-Muslim while the oppressors are mostly of Alawite sect, an off-shoot of shiite-islam, meaning they share similarity with Iranian-Shiite. Iran dilemma is, over 75% of Syria population is Sunni and they all hate Iran now..Then you have the fact the Arab world is mostly sunni and they hate hearing about their brothers and sisters residing next door in Syria being slaughtered by Alawites with the full support of Iran...So this only increases hatred toward Iran throughout the Arab world.
For decades, Iran has posted itself as the leader of all Muslim against the oppressing Israelis...but now, they've been unmasked as hypocrites who have helped the Syrian regime kill 10 thousands Muslims...The Israeli can now claim Iran has killed more Muslim in one year then Israel has done throughout its entire existence.
